1.

being the domestic goddess that i am, i derive great pleasure from catering to david's dinner requests. i love to cook, and love to eat what i cook even more, so it's a win-win. he mentioned last week he'd like to go meatless for a while. i always plan at least 2 meatless dinners a week, but we decided to try to go meatless for the whole month of march. we bid farewell to february with five guys, and began meatless today. i'm not saying vegetarian because we're still doing eggs and animal products. although i guess cutting those would be vegan, not vegetarian...anyway, time to put my nutrition skills to the test!

breakfast: oatmeal with banana, walnuts and maple syrup

lunch: tzatziki with pita and feta cheese crumbles, greek yogurt (pomegranate flavor!), fruit, almonds, v8 fusion juice

dinner: quinoa pilaf with apples and pecans, baked sweet potato with sauteed peppers, spinach salad

I tell them there are more do's than don'ts in the WofW. How many can they name? None of course.

I see a bunch of do's here...

And, wow, 5 Guys is something I never do!; March 3, 2011 at 6:17 AM

love is the only way to grasp another human being in the innermost core of his personality. no one can become fully aware of the very essence of another human being unless he loves him. by his love he is enabled to see the essential traits and features in the beloved person; and even more, he sees that which is potential in him, which is not yet actualized but yet ought to be actualized. furthermore, by his love, the loving person enables the beloved person to actualize these potentialities. by making him aware of what he can be and of what he should become, he makes these potentialities come true.

our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. it is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. we ask ourselves: who am i to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? actually, who are you not to be? you are a child of god. your playing small does not serve the world. there's nothing enlightening about shrinking so that other people won't feel secure around you. we are born to make manifest the glory of god that is in us. it's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. and as we let our light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. as we are liberated from our fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
